These days and especially post 9/11 security is very hot topic. However many people would be surprised that a lot of companies of all sizes and descriptions almost completely ignore their enterprise-wide security issues. Until that is the company has been hacked! Attitudes dramatically change when that happens. Companies spending for security related work or "risk mitigation" is usually very low. Many would be shocked to hear what people say after the damage has been done. Hindsight as they say is always 20/20. 

Most companies turn a deaf ear to security and pretend it won't happen to them. What a terrible misconception! Who's responsible for security in your Enterprise? Security is the responsibility of all employees. IT typically collaborates with department heads, business leaders and senior management and then identifies risks and the costs association with mitigating them. That usually gets driven down throughout the organization from there but all instances it must always be championed and hard driven from the top.
